CS431 Submersible Pressure Transducer
5.2.1 Example Edlog Programs
The following two examples are for the CR10X but other Edlog dataloggers
are programmed similarly.
5.2.1.1 Example CR10X P ROGRAM – S TANDARD – One Sensor
In the following example
Vr = differential voltage at diff channel 1
Vo = differential voltage at diff channel 2
L = pressure measurement in nominal units
P = pressure measurement in psi units using provided calibration values m
and b from calibration data sheet for the specific sensor being used
T = temperature measurement in degrees C
1: Ex-Del-Diff (P8)
1: 2
Reps
2: 3 25 mV Slow Range
3: 1 DIFF Channel
4: 1 Excite all reps w/Exchan 1
5: 1 Delay (units 0.01 sec)
6: 800 mV Excitation
7: 1 Loc [ Vr ]
8: 1.0 Mult
9: 0.0 Offset
; Calculate L factor
L=100*(Vo/Vr)
; Measure Temperature
2: Temp (107) (P11)
1: 1
Reps
2: 5 SE Channel
3: 2 Excite all reps w/E2
4: 4 Loc [ T ]
5: 1.0 Mult
6: 0.0 Offset
; L can be translated to a pressure measurement using the following formula,
; where m and b (in psi) are determined from device calibration sheet.
P=(m)*L + (b)
; Now data can be further processed or written to data storage memory.
